Trump gave himself and his administration a perfect score for their handling of this pandemic.

And had all of the mistakes simply been general governmental issues distinct from Trump's actions and those of the administration, we could talk about how great their response has been, but we have video of dismissals, downplaying and delaying.

The poor response of other countries does not absolve the current administration of their mistakes. There are certainly a number of realities that most countries were bound to encounter: a lot of people were going to die; the economy was going to tank; our healthcare system was going to be tested. But we can't overlook the fact that the administration delayed in taking a few key steps that would have strengthened our response. Their early attempts to dismiss and downplay the outbreak were egregious.

Here is Trump comparing coronavirus to the flu.

Four weeks later, we are at close to 13,000 deaths. I believe we are averaging something like 440 deaths a day since that tweet.

So you wanted him to panic at first mention and alarm everyone, shut all borders and create a vaccine by himself in one day??

Fkn trump it's all his fault!!!

Btw it looks like you'll land in that average of 27-70k deaths sooo technically he's not wrong.
